The trailer is very suggestive of what’s to come, featuring some shots of what might be our first look at Polyphony Digital’s rendition of Silverstone (don’t forget, we discovered they scanned the legendary circuit last year).

Careful observers will also note that the virtual cars, which appear to be overlayed on actual video of GT Academy footage, display license plates that reflect each major game in the Gran Turismo series. The last car, bearing a GT5 plate, is passed at the end of the video.

The final – and most exciting – scene, features the Gran Turismo logo and a count from 1-5. After the “5” is displayed, a blank, blinking underscore suggests big things are to come for the May 15th event.

As always, stay tuned to GTPlanet and our Gran Turismo 6 forum for more analysis of the video and breaking news on the 15th Anniversary event.

UPDATE: Nissan’s official NismoTV YouTube channel has uploaded their own copy of the trailer, and GT Academy 2013 is confirmed in the video’s description: “The world’s greatest race training programme is coming back to transform more Gran Turismo gamers into professional racing drivers – GT ACADEMY 2013!”

Ahh good old GT Academy, I used to get excited about those until they stopped letting Australians enter. I sure hope no-one gets left out this time.

JUST GIVE US NEW CARS IN GT6! ! !
Saw the new about KTM, its a good car, but the f$#” that car is old, it has been for sale for a while, we need NEW cars, GT6 should have the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, Lamborghini Veneno, Bugatti Vitesse or Super Sport, RedBull X2013 lol, but you know what I mean new cars, would be nice if a 2013/2014 game has cars of other years, or more tan 1000 cars but 60% are sh!tty like almost all the standard cars of GT5, 50 skylines, 30 miatas, 20 Imprezas, the only diference between these cars are the colors, and their are not good cars, if we ased for different versions of a same car, we should said, Lamborghini gallardo coupe, spyder, lp 550, super leggera, balboni, and the last facelift gallardo, not 50 old skylines, even forza 4 has better carlist, has less but good ones, and a lot of 2013 cars

Another thing that GT6 should have is a better custom of the body, in GT5 we can only change the paint of the cars, inother games (again) like Forza 4, you can change the color of the cars with more tan just 1, can paint what ever you want the car, you wont see 2 same cars in online mode of Forza 4, you can take a normal Ford Fiesta, and paint it like WRC kenblock car, or créate your own designs, thats why GT5 had a lot of hackers, not just to change the hp, to custom the cars

By the way will GT6 came for PS3 or PS4? (I wont buy a PS4 if GT6 continues doing the same mistakes over and over again, I´ll prefere to buy a XBOX only for play Forza 4

sorry to disappoint you but I’ve been there, done that. I bought xbox 360, forza 4, fanatec csr steering wheel. and if you are crazy about the feel of the car in gt, the feel that forza 4 provides wont make you happy. yes other things are great, customization, online database of liveries that other users make and you buy/sell it with the in game money etc. but that car of yours that have the look just as you wanted, wont feel like a real car like it does in gt.

I’m 26 years old if anyone interested btw :)

They couldn’t give it away anymore, all apart of a marketing scheme

May. 9, 2:44pm

NoonenF1

My speculation:

– A lot of boasting about how successful the franchise has been, how far it has evolved
– Big amount of attention and detail given for GT Academy 2013
– They’ll announce GT6 (for either PS3 or PS4), but give no release date. We’ll get to see Silverstone, maybe Bathurst & Willow Springs too in a new trailer
– KY will say something cryptic for all of us to analyze until E3

May. 9, 3:04pm

omnibusse

And maybe Seattle, too. Think it was featured in the Acura NSX-trailer or in the Corvette C7 one.

May. 9, 3:09pm

SavageEvil

They don’t boast, they do tend to be thankful for people continuing to support the series, boasting is an American thing to do, Japanese tend to be more humble about things. Everything else you are pretty much spot on, GT6 will without a doubt be on everyone’s lips come E3. I just want to hear what PD plans are for PS4…delicious thoughts are abound in my head.

End of the car. But I believe it is a saleen s7 twin turbo!

May. 9, 10:06am

It looks like a Saleen S7 to me too. If it really is an S7, I wonder why it would be used in a video that’s mostly demonstrating GT Academy?

May. 9, 10:10am

The white car? Its definitly not a Saleen S7. The rear lights are to big to be the Saleen.

May. 9, 11:09am

The orange car is a Saleen S7.

May. 9, 11:18am

stupidstormy36

Yep, I agree. It definitely looks like a Saleen to me. And i should know. lol

May. 9, 11:39am

researchALLwars

the red car at 00:18 is definitely the Saleen S7. The white car at 00:21 is unidentifiable. Even for a supercar FREAK such as I..

The taillights are Nissan GTR-like, the mirrors are Pagani-like…. but after that it’s anyone’s guess. I will admit being quite disappointed with myself for not knowing what that thing is… :/

I hope GT6 stops with the rolling starts. I hate them

May. 9, 11:59am

SavageEvil

^Rolling starts were used because the frame rate would take a serious hit when launching more than 8 cars from a standstill all that smoke creating wheelspin would cripple the PS3….not enough texture RAM….! I would like it if rolling starts were optional in human races that would be great since some folks couldn’t launch to save their lives and well it would definitely give you a different type of start.
I hope A Spec isn’t so lame and it changes depending on how well you perform using certain cars and gives you race in vehicles you are weak in to better help you learn to master them. Let’s hope PD starts using real numbers for suspensions and not arbitrary digits at least for the downforce, sheesh what happened to lbs/sq. in. I want that damn wind tunnel for aero testing, it’s a must so we can set it for best balance so you don’t over do it and cause too much drag leading to slower lap times, greater fuel consumption and higher tire wear.

May. 9, 1:15pm

researchALLwars

lol @BWX… and I thought I was venomous, haha.

+1 to Savage for the inclusion of the wind tunnel for testing in GT6. PD would then hopefully give us much more customization options in the aero arena in order to fully utilize this and reap the benefits on the track. Front lip splitters/spoilers are one of the easiest, cheapest and most effective ways of getting your car to drop lap times IRL. Underbody panels, vented hoods, cutting fenders/side skirts to vent air behind the front wheels, brake cooling ducts, rear diffusers (man, those are so cool), more canards, and hopefully more than the three tired, old, ridiculous ricer wings from GT4 that we are stuck with now- all of these things would be a blast to buy, install, test, and race with.

I think a lot could be learned by the sim-racing and generally the car-loving cummunity if Gran Turismo had these options. Take us to school. Almost all streetcars, including most sports cars actually have aero LIFT at high speeds. The handling differences between street and aero-equipped cars is something that we could all benefit from understanding.

May. 9, 2:34am

Stephanos82

Do you guys remember that technology shown years ago where one could lap in real life and save the lap time on a special usb then race against it as a ghost lap in GT5? I think that’s what they are showing that’s why the cars look like ghosts – semi transparent

May. 9, 3:13am

When they show a flashing underscore after the “GT” logo…?

No, THIS TIME, it MUST be GT6. We KNOW it’s right around the corner. The ghosts are likely for GT Academy, as it’s obvious that that will be shown there. I’d bet this data logger stuff you’re talking about will be in GT6.

Hi evevryone.

I just want to point out that the cars aren’t real. If you look at the video at 0:19, the shadow of the car has aliasing. So the only real car here is the one that’s driving, the other cars with the GT plate numbers aren’t real.

May. 9, 3:28am

Ok, my question – What is that car at 0:21…? I swear it’s familiar, but I have NO CLUE what it is. If I couldn’t see it’s tail end I would’ve maybe thought a Lotus Evora or maybe Pagani Huayra… But it obviously isn’t.

May. 8, 10:25pm

Halcyon925

I think that its a Acura HSR Concept. It has an odd paint scheme though.

May. 8, 10:52pm

I paused it. It’s nothing we’ve seen before.

May. 9, 12:13am

Quakebass

No, that isn’t it – the tail lights are a bit GT-R like. (in the video). And the rear window is a LOT skinnier. The back also doesn’t curve as much as the HSC concept…

I’m gonna go look through the forums.

May. 9, 2:57am

KilzoneStrife

2014 NSX Concept?

May. 9, 3:27am

infamousphil

Koenigsig or however you spell it?

May. 9, 11:51am

SavageEvil

It’s an S7 TT, just fire up GT5 and go into 3rd person view and and pause it then pause the video just before the GTR makes it move to the outside you can see the shape matches the S7 in GT5 but the rear window is slimmer as that of the TT revision of the S7 from 2005. If you look lower you can also see the rear exit vents with the horizontal splitter. I paused the video to verify since at first I thought it was a Ferrari of sorts but the shape was more McLaren like which the S7 does have but much wider. Not sure if I can do a screen capture with the video paused, but I stand by what I deciphered from that video and I believe that is none other than the Saleen S7 TT ’09 latest model year produced of the machine. 750hp of “pure” American muscle that can race, my lead foot itches! I’m a bit of an enthusiast for this car ever since I saw it, so I was happily awaiting it’s appearance in GT and Forza and it only showed up as the older model and never the newer more in your face neck snapping accelerating beast the TT model is. Hurray for updates PD, keep them coming.

That black and white car looks like the concept NSX that was built after that HSR concept but never made it into the game.

May. 9, 7:22pm

Quakebass

^ I’ve looked, and none of the concepts had similar tail lights at all. The rear is far different as well.

And I don’t think concept cars would be used in GT Academy, as the point is transitioning from virtual to reality, and you can’t really drive most concept cars in reality…

May. 8, 8:19pm

Ooooo an announcement of an announcement. Don’t get too worked up boys. Polyphony isn’t known for holding their release dates.

The original GT score was enough to get me pumped. Unfortunately, I’ll probably have to sit through another abreviated version before a full installment is released next year. Now I’m thinking of all the great tracks, cars, replay and photo modes, gadgets and gizmos that won’t be included at anytime in the future, near or far. I can here yall now… too many Skylines, they should have done Chicago by now, no return of the replay mixer and they continue to ignore engine swaps…

Yes this is to celebrate 15yrs of Gran Turismo. OK then… DON’T BELEIVE THE HYPE ;)

May. 8, 7:46pm

biftizmo

It’s all about the data logger..spring 2013 was said it would be released to the racing industry and on sale later in the year..Gt 86.. This is a very important part of GT5 dont dismiss it! And show case the new academy..and Kaz will put your mines at rest for GT6…GT5 is going to get even better…free cars and silver stone for the winners….rock on! We already got the perfect racing system that competes with real world..bring it on Dudes at polly…GT5,the Internet and PS3 have come of age..lets do it.

May. 8, 7:11pm

The last car passed was actually bearing the number 4 on the plate it makes sense since GT Academy is courtesy of GT5 and it’s heading toward 6. I’m just stoked that in game shot was of the S7 TT, drooling has commenced already.

May. 8, 7:26pm

^ Lol, I know what you mean. Still driving around in the ’04 S7 in FM4 as we speak. Was livid that they didn’t update it in that game too, so ridiculous. They added the Raptor but forgot about the mother of all Saleen cars?

May. 8, 7:32pm

BoneSawTX

i’m not sure what it is but it’s not an S7

May. 8, 7:48pm

SavageEvil

I looked up photos and it’s definitely an S7, the TT had a slightly different rear end make up the rear window was slimmer and had venting running along both sides vertically. If you pause the video in full screen you can see it is definitely an S7, the rear window is a dead giveaway as to which model. Original S7 ran from 2000 to 2004 and in 2005 the car was revised and came with Twin Turbos that the design called for in the original and this also included a competition package that increased the power to 1,000 up from 750 in the TT stock model. S7 is my favorite super car coming out of the U.S., I also love the Vector M12 but that hasn’t been seen since GT2 sadly enough. Rest assured that is the S7 Twin Turbo either the 2005 or the 2009 model, with PD I’m guessing they would use the last model produced since they already have the first model year introduced.

May. 8, 10:57pm

05XR8

That car looks FR not MR. I paused it and the rear window is too short like a Corvette and the rear deck not long enough for an engine. Plus the lights look different sizes even considering its in perspective.

May. 8, 11:05pm

05XR8

PLUS!… The car almost looks more like the Mitsuoka Orochi that was in automodellista

May. 9, 3:17pm

Apparently not, due to licensing or somesuch which would need to be re-negotiated for 1-4. A shame but I hope that’s all ironed out when it comes to the PS4 and Gaikai.

May. 8, 6:48pm

HuskyGT

GT2 at least.

May. 8, 7:21pm

SavageEvil

If they could actually get the cars scanned and updated they could just add them to GT6 in full HD Glory and include all the courses wouldn’t have to negotiate for expensive licenses just to only update some pretty old ass games. Go full out I say, brand spanking new game might as well fork over the dough and bring everything over that can be brought over.

A section of the news article from the Gran Turismo website:

“This mutual respect and increasing blurring of the lines between the virtual and real, has led to the Silverstone event being well supported by a host of other manufacturers as well, such as Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Jaguar, KTM, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla and Toyota.”

Ha!

May. 8, 4:37pm

Amac500

Wait so it doesn’t actually say anything in GT6? Then why is GT6 first the first headline for the artical? I do kind of believe they will announce it at this event but the video doesn’t say anything about GT6. Idk, a blinking line isn’t enough to make me headline this GT6. I do bet they use Silverstone in this years GT Academy though.

May. 8, 5:58pm

MeanElf

The blinking cursor denotes ‘to be filled in’ or ‘yet to be written’ which in this case is GT6.

May. 8, 6:08pm

Guardian

The ‘blinking underscore’ after the ‘5’ is a major bit of teasing. It strongly hints towards GT6(/news).

May. 8, 4:28pm

Tyger

Not sure why some folks are saying the video shows some sort of GTR lineage, sure the first car with the “GT1” plate is a Skyline but he then appears to overtake a Saleen S7 and what I *think* is that Honda concept from years ago, the one which was possibly going to replace the NSX. Also the underscore/prompt is very vague and not like a “…” but I admit I do wonder why it is there at all, and the fact that Kaz is apparently going to make an announcement regarding the future of the franchise is promising. I just hope he isn’t typically vague and ambiguous yet again.

May. 8, 4:39pm

Amac500

The new Acura NSX, it’s going into producing later this year. So not possibly, but is actually replacing it. But yeah, I see no lineage either.

May. 8, 6:58pm

SavageEvil

Did you notice the detail in the S7, that is the S7 Twin Turbo being passed by the GTR. Yes, finally this car has made it to a game like FM and GT, I was always upset that I hadn’t seen the most powerful Saleen in these games and looks like it’s coming to GT 6. Huzzah!

May. 8, 7:11pm

TokoTurismo

^ Agreed! :D

May. 8, 7:44pm

Amac I didn’t think it was the new (hybrid) NSX, rather the older concept which I think appeared in GT5 as a standard car. I need to check the name of the model!

It’s GT6. It must be!

My predictions:-

1. GTAcad 2013 released on PS3 as a GT5 Evolution/update (Like 2012 was kind of…)
2. GT6 will be released on PS3 in November with Silverstone (And all of the older tracks……maybe….lol)
3. GT6 Spec 2 demo / GT7 Prologue released on PS4 next year
4. GT6 Spec 2 (Or GT7) will be on PS4 in three years, offering a step up in graphic performance and more content.

And in the mean time, GT Academy mini games on both consoles………..

Will i be right? Who knows. But this is how i think things will pan out. Damn, it’s gonna be a long wait

May. 9, 2:49am

ScotteDawg

Don’t forget Bathurst! It was scanned for GT6 last year! ☺

You do have to remember, though, technology is going forwards in leaps and bounds, so the release dates for any future games in the GT series won’t be as far apart as they have been in the past… The wait for GT5 was excruciating to ay the least!!!

I’m reasonably confident that we’ll see GT6 on the PS3 (at a reduced price as it will mostly still be GT5, just with all the cars as premium – as promised – and a few extra tracks) then, on the PS4, we’ll see a seriously updated version which will still be GT6 because the game-play and “home page” will not have changed!

Once on the PS4, updates will come via the interweb thingy and there will possibly be no need for a GT7 until the PS5…

Yeah, good luck with that. Well know every car in GT6 will be a GT-R. :sly:

@Steebz I think the biggest joke in the motoring world is that there is a sport version of the Ford Transit, haha.

More different types of cars would be interesting. driving is fun for real car enthusiasts. No matter what it is. but let’s remember this is GT so it’s probably never going to happen.

May. 8, 4:03pm

Hentis

Ok heres my take.

GT Academy 2013 much like it was last year with rounds opening every few weeks. With a track being made available for the last round. Then being released for GT5 as DLC in which loads of kiddies will Slag Sony and PD off as they have to pat for it, (possibly Silverstone?).

GT6 Prologue for the PS3 late summer release using the GT5 engine

GT6 for the PS4 Summer release using the PS4 Engine.

May. 8, 4:08pm

Dekropttiv

Why would the make a prologue of the game on a completely different console? Prologues are suppose to be like a little sample of what’s to come. If the sample is on an older system it isn’t really a sample

Love the gt1 music there. I hope they use some of the old music in gt6, would be awesome :D

May. 9, 3:07am

ScotteDawg

You know, I’ve got all the music I could find from the past GT games, compiled it into a list on my PS3, used it in-game (because GT5 allows that), then used my own, updated list of music! Over the years, my taste in music has changed, as I hope Polyphony’s has. Don’t get me wrong, I still like the old GT music and I DO listen to it from time to time, but some of the newer music is good too, particularly the dubstep!!!

May. 9, 11:59am

I gotta admit I kind of miss the signature menu music I had gotten used to over the years…

What is the car at 21 second in the video.

May. 8, 3:15pm

RJS

I think that it is a Prototype to the GT-R R35

May. 8, 2:30pm

Definitely GT6. Also, the cursor pulses are simply a cursor awaiting input, not indicative of other titles. Open a command line in windows or boot into dos.

GT6: With over 2000 “different” versions of the same car, the Nissan GT-R. (And no other cars, because Kaz doesn’t think other kinda cars are needed).

So Im guessing it’s GT “6”

Ha they used the intro song from Gran turismo 1. I listen to it everyday.

May. 8, 1:51pm

Bloobat

Guys that is definitely a new GT-R under the cover of the teaser image, I think this because if you look at the video at 00:17 there is an old GT-R that says GT 1 then at 00:23 for a split second there is the newish GT-R with the plate GT5…and the driver is overtaking all these signaling a new game GT6 with a new GT-R….

I know that is a long shot but those two ‘ghost’ GT-R’s must be in the video for a reason!

May. 8, 1:57pm

NJ72

Nissan have only just released the Nismo GTR, this is not going to be a new GTR release. It is the shape of a car more akin to the GT86.

May. 8, 1:48pm

All the hairs on the back of my head started tingling after hear that soundtrack. Powerful Stuff!

May. 8, 1:52pm

That soundtrack was used in GT2 or 3. It’s really great when your smashing around the night track.

May. 8, 2:01pm

^^ The song in the video is the intro theme for GT1.

May. 8, 1:42pm

Ugh… I knew it would be a GT Academy thing only.

May. 8, 1:46pm

You actually believe its that? (T_l)

May. 8, 1:48pm

Oh I see it now. But we should wait and see whats up in May 15 first, before going all downer of course imo…

May. 8, 1:54pm

HuskyGT

You’ll see. I don’t want to set my hope high this time. I mean, if they had something solid regarding GT6, why don’t they tell already? I just hate how silent PD can be. We all know PD doesn’t work in the game anymore, or at least it doesn’t put all its effort in it. It’s all about GT Academy. I almost bet GT6 will also be as limited as GT5, or even more.

And that underscore… That honestly doesn’t mean a thing. People are just seeing what they want. I want PD or Kazunori saying “Yes, we are highly advanced in GT6 right now. It will be released for X console although we don’t know when.” Or “No, we haven’t worked on GT6 because we will fully focus on outside projects and GT Academy from now on. Do not expect a game in the next 5 years or so.”

May. 8, 1:56pm

HuskyGT

An man, I just hope I swallow my words…

May. 8, 2:24pm

LVracerGT

With Sony big shots saying there will be big titles released for PS3 this year, and that one guy (don’t remember his name or position, sorry) letting it slip that GT6 is going to be a PS3 title along with the _ at the end of the video my bet is on a GT6 announcement and release date.

If GT6 is coming out on PS3, Sony is going to want it released before the PS4 launches to boost PS3 sales. And PD needs to hype GT6 before release. This is the perfect time to announce it.

May. 8, 4:12pm

HarVee

I see a 6,7 & 8. but that’s just me trying to cling onto any optimism I may have. GT & optimism does not mix very well, sadly.

May. 8, 8:29pm

Quakebass

You hate how silent PD is being…? After Kaz specifically said he wanted to keep quiet about the game?

Last time we started getting early info on a GT game, it wasn’t concrete, because PD was over ambitious. We ended up with a lack-luster GT5. If PD can wait until they have CONCRETE details on what they can offer, then we will have a good outcome.

There’s NO WAY PD would put so much hype on this just for GT Academy. And why would there be a blinking underscore after the “5” was flashed? We know GT6 is coming. And this is an excellent time to announce it.

May. 8, 1:58pm

It’s for media. It’s a publicity event, I doubt there will be tickets for general public

“Yamauchi-san is set to provide an update on the future of the Gran Turismo game at Silverstone. His passion for all things automotive is evident in the ever-increasing levels of realism and attention to detail in Gran Turismo, and the huge range of cars for which it is famous. Strong relationships with the many manufacturers that have featured in the franchise have led to some fascinating co-operations with the automotive world; such as the Red Bull X2010 ultimate race car, GTbyCitroën concept, a design co-operation for a display featuring on the real Nissan GT-R and an innovative new app developed for the Toyota GT86.

In a close partnership with Nissan, PlayStation has taken the virtual-to-reality overlap, inspired by Gran Turismo, to a new level in the form of the Nissan PlayStation GT Academy. The now-famous racing driver development programme selects the fastest GT gamers from around the world and transfers their talent to real-world racing. The competition began in 2008 and has gone from strength to strength. Over three million people have entered since its inception, and graduates of the Academy have recorded some impressive results, including a second-place finish in the 2011 Le Mans 24 Hours LMP2 class. Five Gran Turismo gamers turned GT Academy champions will be on hand at Silverstone. The ‘Nismo Athletes’ will be showing off their real-world racing skills with some high-speed passenger laps around the famous circuit, a track that has, so far, never featured in Gran Turismo.

This mutual respect and increasing blurring of the lines between the virtual and real, has led to the Silverstone event being well supported by a host of other manufacturers as well, such as Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Jaguar, KTM, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla and Toyota. Real-life versions of their cars, old and new, familiar to the legions of passionate Gran Turismo fans will be on display and on-track as part of the event.

“The Gran Turismo franchise continues to be extremely important to PlayStation,” explained Jim Ryan, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. “We felt that 15 years of GT was an event worth celebrating along with our colleagues from the Americas, Asia and Japan. We are very grateful to our manufacturer partners for helping us to bring together a fantastic event. As well as experiencing the development of the franchise and comparing the virtual and real, it will be a pleasure to see Yamauchi-san and hear what’s next for Gran Turismo.”

Notice KTM is mentioned? Let the speculations begin…

May. 9, 10:23am

I think Kaz will retire and Gran Turismo will cease its existence.

May. 8, 1:30pm

hobanator24

If you read this article, you can see that the event is being supported by many automobile manufacturers, such as Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Jaguar, KTM, Mercedes Benz, Tesla and Toyota. One thing I noticed in particular, was the presence of KTM on this list, yet no KTM vehicle has ever been featured in the GT franchise (to my knowledge). Could this mean there will be the KTM X- Bow in GT6? Or perhaps the addition or bikes to the GT franchise?

May. 8, 1:25pm

RDAardvark

I wonder if GT6 will come to the PS3 as a prologue version and the final product to the PS4.
Just a guess.

May. 8, 1:45pm

So, they put in this trailer:

GT1 – GT2 – GT3 – GT4 – GT5 – GT_*blinks*

I don’t think they’d do that.

GT1
GT2
GT3
GT4
GT5
GT Academy

They wouldn’t do that. It HAS to be GT6. You don’t build hype like this, along with circulating rumors of the next title, JUST for GT Academy.

I’m surprised they didn’t have Silverstone in GT5 considering they’ve been using it for GT Academy. I’m also surprised that we got Motegi as a new DLC track instead of Silverstone. I’m so excited for this. It will probably be in GT6 though. I think that because the ending shows, GT1, GT2, GT3, GT4, GT5, GT_. GT_ has to be 6. They aren’t confirming it in the trailer, but they heavily imply it.

After GT5 there were four underscores, GT6 (_6) which we know of already. _7,_8,_9.

IMO, an Official announcement of GT6s future next week can be heavily “speculated” in this video along with GTAcademy start date. (Jann).

Its a party, and we know Kaz loves parties.

May. 8, 1:10pm

Zuel

My theory from the Jann being in the video and he chasing the ghost cars, there may be some sort of TT on Silver Stone on the 15th. Silver Stone will be in GT6, not GT5 which may mean track DLC for GT5 will stop. The R34 I did see GT1 in the plate area celebrating 15 years of Grand Turismo, May in turn GT6 may have a strong tie to GT1. The four underscores may entitle a total of 9 titles for Grand Turismo.
